QNET, a global lifestyle and wellness company in the direct-selling sector, is addressing a case of fraud linked to an individual named Okperegede Sunday in Ogun State, Nigeria. Sunday, an Independent Representative, allegedly defrauded approximately 50 of his downlines, stealing ₦50 million intended for product purchases.
Upon learning of the fraudulent activities, QNET worked with authorities to locate and arrest Sunday, suspending his account pending further investigation. The company is alarmed by the rising misuse of its brand name in illegal activities and warns individuals engaging in such acts of the potential consequences.
Biram Fall, QNET’s Regional General Manager for sub-Saharan Africa, stated, “Earlier this year, we launched the Say No! Awareness campaign to combat fake job offers and scams in Ogun State. These fraudulent acts impact lives and tarnish our reputation.”
As a direct-selling company, QNET empowers Independent Representatives to promote its exclusive products, adhering to a strict code of conduct. The company maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards illegal activities and has taken disciplinary action against 81 IRs across sub-Saharan Africa for policy violations between 2022 and 2023. QNET remains committed to collaborating with law enforcement to ensure justice prevails.
